Jeremiah 16:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Lord, you are my strength and my protection.
    You are a safe place to run to in time of trouble.
The nations will come to you from all around the world.
    They will say, “Our fathers had false gods.
They worshiped those worthless idols,
    but the idols did not help them.
²⁰ Can people make real gods for themselves?
    No, they can only make statues that are not really gods.”

²¹ “So I will teach those who make idols.
    Right now I will teach them about my power and my strength.
Then they will know that I am God.
    They will know that I am the Lord.
